MOSCOW — RECENT events surrounding Syria have prompted me to speak directly to the American people and their political leaders. It is important to do so at a time of insufficient communication between our societies.

Relations between us have passed through different stages. We stood against each other during the cold war. But we were also allies once, and defeated the Nazis together. The universal international organization — the United Nations — was then established to prevent such devastation from ever happening again.

Face it; we elected a POTUS that knows NOTHING about diplomacy, the middle east, geo-politics or foreign policy. If not for the press extolling his brilliance Obama would still be hanging out in south Chicago handing out Newports and crack rocks in return for votes.
